Review of Smokey and the Bandit Part 3 (1983) by Ben C — 07 Mar 2013

Smokey & The Bandit 3.

Well, this third S & B movie was far from the best movie I have seen in my life. And here you got the reasons why that is.

For starters, the bandit, meaning Mr. Burt Reynolds wasn't even in the movie, and he is the bandit for crying out loud! And they didn't have the original «Smokey & the bandit» Theme music. They made some new music that fit the movie well, but still. The casting was some what bad. I mean, you have got the snowman (Cletus) and you have got smokey senior (sheriff Buford T. Justice) & smokey junior (Junior Justice). Not to mention Big Enis and Little Enis, the rich SOB's that is always throwing money around and who are always looking for a good time. You've got a lady whom is randomly picked up on the road, just like «Frog» in the two first movies. No, I most certainly would not call this a good movie, the first two were good, but this one disappointed me to a degree that can't be described.

Still, it had some good in it. Like the comments and lines that actually were funny. I have to admit that this movie did make me laugh more than once. So, as I said it wasn't all bad.

Snowman as the bandit? Are you fucking kidding me?! There is one bandit, not two, not four, nor five, no, there is, and I hope this gets through to you. There is, but one bandit!

Snowman outside his truck is wrong. It's like big Enis and Little Enis, Smokey senior and little smokey Junior. They should not part. Not now, not ever!

There is so many things that is wrong with this movie that I can't mention them all, but because there were so few good things about it, I can try and list them up.

You have got those lines that made me laugh, there were extremely few of them, but still, they made me laugh. And you have got your car stunts, this movie's car stunts compared to the two first movies was just poorly choreographed and should be banned from all screens in this world and all others, but still the stunts did their job, almost anyway. And the music, even though they did not have the original theme music, they did add some good music. Music that did fit the movie. so, that was perhaps one of the best parts, which says quite a lot about how seriously awful this movie actually was. After seeing the tree «smokey & the bandit» movies, I conclude with this statement right here: This movie was simply crap! It should not have been made, and I do not see how they said yes to «publish» or even produce this movie! I am disappointed. Oh, so disappointed. That is my final statement before you get my rating.

On a scale from 0-10 stars, this movie gets 2 stars. If it weren't for the music and the fact that it briefly and barely made me laugh it would have gotten 0, or 1 at the best.

This right here was J.J. Shevy, a disappointed and now cranky writer.

Goodnight and sleep tight.

CAUTION! CRAP IS ALL AROUND!
